Setup and logon<br />

Setting up the <strong>McAfee</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> appliance<br />

Gather necessary materials<br />

You must provide the following:<br />

• Standard VGA monitor and PS/2 keyboard<br />

or Serial console<br />

• Administration system with:<br />

• Windows or Linux operating system<br />

• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6 or later<br />

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later<br />

or Mozilla Firefox version 2.0 or later<br />

• Network cables<br />

To perform the installation with:<br />

• The software that was delivered to you on the hardware platform, continue with Connect and turn on<br />

the appliance.<br />

• Software you downloaded from the Extranet, continue with Installing downloaded software using a<br />

USB drive.<br />

Connect and turn on the appliance<br />

To begin with the installation:<br />

1 Connect the appliance to power and the network.<br />

2 Connect a monitor and keyboard or a serial console to the appliance.<br />

3 Turn on the appliance. The installer menu appears.<br />

Continue with Installing the appliance software.<br />

Installing downloaded software using a USB drive<br />

If you do not want to use the software that was shipped to you on the hardware platform for setting up<br />

the appliance, you can download a different version from the Extranet for <strong>McAfee</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> and<br />

use a USB drive to install it.<br />

Tools for copying the appliance software to a USB drive<br />

To copy the appliance software to a USB drive, you can use different tools.<br />

For example, you can use the dd tool, which is provided with the Linux operating system. The command<br />

syntax is:<br />

dd if= of= bs=16k<br />

where bs is the size of a data chunk that is buffered in memory during the transfer.<br />

Note: You need to be logged in as root administrator to execute the command. Also be aware that the copy<br />

operation will completely overwrite everything that was stored on the drive.<br />

For cygwin (Windows), the syntax of the dd command is the same. You can use the following command<br />

to find out what the USB device name is for your appliance drive:<br />

cat /proc/partitions<br />

If you do not want to use cygwin, you may also obtain dd for Windows from the Intel Software Network<br />

site.<br />
